Hi everyone.

 

Customer runs several tape libraries in their commcell domain.

One of them is configured with LTO8 tape drive and LTO7 M8 tape media which is known for 9TB tape.

Tape drives are well configured just by performing detection and it showed tapes in library with “OOOOOOL8”. (but it’s a M8 media, 9TB capacity)

I tried some configuration for tape media - LTO7, LTO8, LTO7M8 … but the same result.

It failed to mount the tape on a drive and it showed same error msg … (illegal request ...)

 

Anyone who experienced this?

This has probably been discussed with the customer already, but did they validate the firmware compatibility via de Tape Storage Matrix?
